I think they can deny it for exceeded "red line". The question is, if the manual says not to exceed 5500 RPM, is this the red line?
Break-in is always discussed when a new M3 comes out. I remember it for the E46 M3 and the E9x M3 discussions. There's always the camp that says follow BMWs words to the letter. Then there are those that say the best way to break-in is to run it hard, i.e. drive it like you stole it. However, it seems that the one common denominator always recommended is to vary speed.
You do have to remember that you don't need to break in just the engine. Brakes and other things need breaking in too. So, take that into consideration.
Cheers.
